🚨 A journalist asked President @MMuizzu a question. Another journalist reported the story. Now both are jailed.
This is bigger than one media outlet or one case. Journalists in the Maldives are now being made to feel that asking questions or reporting stories that concern the public could cost them their freedom.
That should alarm anyone who believes in democracy, press freedom, and the rule of law.
The world needs to pay attention.

Maldives: A journalist asks President @MMuizzu a question. Another reports it. Both are now in jail.
Democracy and press freedom are under attack. The world must speak up.

Last night, @bankofmaldives CEO Shareef and Muizzu decided Maldivian students paying fees and patients in treatment abroad don’t deserve to eat or get medicine.
Cards declined. Humiliation at every counter.
Because their plan to “control dollars” is to punish students, patients, and families living overseas.
@MMuizzu if managing dollars means making families suffer... step aside.
@AikAhmedEasa We may not know every circumstance, but we do know this, even good ppl can fall short.
The @mohamedkudu knw wouldn’t intend this. What’s done is done, and he has apologized publicly.
Let’s go easy and also remember his strong track record.
On this point, Shiuna is right.
Surah An-Nur, accusations need proof. Protect dignity. Don’t spread what you can’t verify.
A claim isn’t evidence.
I may disagree with the PRESIDENT but that doesn’t lower the standard of truth.
Choose evidence over rumor.
@Abu_Abdullah_A_@MohamedNasheed Youth empowerment matters.
But MDP leadership is about everyone, not just one group.
Can we empower youth while sidelining everyone else and still lead the whole country?
Mikail campaign is built almost entirely around youth.
But MDP is not a youth club. It represents workers, families, elders, and the whole country.
With 2028 ahead, is a narrow focus and learning curve enough for MDP to win?
Vote @MohamedNasheed
Is Baarashu Shujau preparing for the PNC presidential ticket?
My sources say he has told multiple people in his close circle. Can anyone confirm?
@HKurusee
@Ajournal_mv Honestly, we lost because @ibusolih stopped listening to his own party. He pushed people away, created divisions, and still thought he could win.
🚨 Can Trump Strike Iran After Congress Votes to Block Him?
The U.S. Congress has moved to limit the President’s ability to order new strikes in Iran.
Under the Constitution, Congress controls war powers and military funding, while the President is Commander-in-Chief.
So what happens next? Legal limits, court challenges, and international crises all play a role.
👉 What do you think? Will this actually stop new strikes or is it just political theater?

🚨 BREAKING: Iran Raises Red Flag of Revenge Over Jamkaran Mosque
A red banner, a traditional Shiite symbol signaling that blood has not been repaid and revenge is demanded, has been raised atop the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom after recent deadly strikes and leadership losses.
Observers say this is one of Iran’s strongest symbolic warnings yet, potentially signaling a harder line against the U.S. and its allies.
This is more than ritual. It is a message that Tehran views this conflict as unfinished and escalation remains on the table.
